No desire to go jogging in the rain or in freezing temperatures? Or hit the gym to waste most of your time waiting for a treadmill or bicycle to free up? Working out at home, at the convenience of your own pace, time and comfy four walls might be just the solution you’ve been looking for.

Professional athletes like kayak world champion Jasmin Schornberg, have to train year-round to provide maximum performance during competitions. But also true for non-professionals: Regular endurance training enhances your health and is balm for the soul, even dark in the season.

In addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise and enough sleep, Nordic Walking enhances your endurance. The movements are reminiscent of cross-country or Nordic walking, claiming a particularly large number of muscles to spare, but the joints. The endurance training is particularly suitable for people who sit a lot. It can be controlled through individual training programs and reinforces in particular the cardiovascular system. Thus, the training makes an important contribution to health care. HanseMerkur insurance will support you.

There are countless equipments available for home use, but a lot of them are sub-par quality and / or simply don’t last. Or you have to look at professional level grade and the price class just skyrockets. However don’t fret, there is the Schwinn Elliptical Trainer 430 you definitely want to check out. This baby is built to last, has an onboard computer with display and looks / works just as it’s professional siblings. The difference? This one only costs about $600.- and gets stellar reviews by current owners.

Ever wondered why that extra padding around your tummy, butt or legs never seem to disappear? After all, you’re hitting the gym several times a week, run for 30 minutes or more and then on to weight lifting?

Getting Rock Hard Abs

A small change to your regular workout routine that will melt your body fat, even long after your workout while laying in your couch at home watching Desperate Housewives.

High Intensity Interval Training is a workout method that literally shocks your body’s system. It’s like telling it “Hey, wake up and burn some of that nasty fat!” Next time you’re on the treadmill, take a few deep breaths and pump up that speed (slowly, you still need at least 3 minutes warm up) and really force yourself to the limit. Go all the way for as long as you possibly can. 20 minutes to half hour. Then add another five of minutes. You will feel totally exhausted, empty, done….

Now your body will go through a recovery  phase that is much longer than usual, called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, by which oxygen is pumped through your system to recover from the kick ass workout you gave it and calories are burned during this process. Yes, while you’re resting!

Keep in mind, I’m talking about a real “to-the-limit” exercise, but if you’re willing to tackle it, you will loose that extra pound and much faster than doing your regular workout schedule.
